Senator Fischer Introduces Real MEAT Act to End Deceptive Labeling of Imitation Meat Products

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, today introduced the Real MEAT Act to end deceptive labeling practices for alternative protein products. The bill would clarify the definition of beef for labeling purposes, eliminate consumer confusion resulting from misbranding, and ensure that the federal government is able to enforce the law. “Beef is derived from cattle—period. Under USDA, beef undergoes a rigorous inspection and labeling process, but plant-based protein products that mimic beef and are sometimes labeled as beef are overseen by the FDA instead. These products are not held to the same food safety and labeling standards as beef. Americans deserve to know what’s on their dinner plate. The Real MEAT Act will protect consumers from deceptive marketing practices and bring transparency to the grocery store,” said Senator Fischer. “It’s clear that fake-meat companies are continuing to mislead consumers about the nutritional merits and actual ingredient composition of their products. We commend the efforts of Senator Fischer on introducing this legislation, which would end deceptive labeling of fake meat products and allow cattle producers to compete on a level playing field,” said National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President Jennifer Houston. More information on the Real MEAT Act: The NCBA found in a study that 55% of consumers did not understand that “plant-based beef ” wasn’t beef at all, but instead an entirely vegan or vegetarian product. This bill would

December 16, 2019

help to clear the confusion by codifying a definition of beef for labeling purposes and allowing the USDA to take action against misbranded products. The Real MEAT Act would codify the definitions of “beef ” and “beef products.” It would further ensure that imitation meat products have the word “imitation” in the same size and prominence immediately before or after the name of the food and a statement clearly indicating that the product does not

contain meat. Lastly, it would strengthen the

government’s ability to enforce the law by requiring that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) submit notice within 60 days to the Secretary of Agriculture if a product is found to be mislabeled as beef. If HHS fails to do so, the Secretary of Agriculture would be allowed to treat the product as mislabeled.

December 16, 2019 Farm Groups Partner to Help Farmers Manage Stress Top farm organizations have announced a partnership to address high levels of stress affecting farmers and ranchers. Farm Credit, the American Farm Bureau Federation and National

Farmers Union, announced the partnership that will provide training to individuals who interact with farmers and ranchers. AFBF President Zippy Duvall says the partnership will "help our members recognize the warning signs and empower them to get help for their friends." In a nation-

State Line Shopper

al Morning Consult poll commissioned by AFBF in April 2019, a strong majority of farmers and farmworkers said financial issues, farm or business problems, and fear of losing the farm, impact the mental health of farmers and ranchers, and nearly half of rural adults said they are personally experienc-

ing more mental health challenges than they were a year ago. Research also shows that while farmers experience higher levels of psychological distress and depression than the general population, they are less likely to seek help for mental health issues.

December 16, 2019 KLA Members Approve Policy Addressing Business Issues Policy focused on labeling of imitation meat and dairy products, stockwater permits, the lesser prairie chicken and other key issues was approved by KLA members during the group's annual business meeting December 6 in Wichita. Ranchers, feeders and dairymen provided input during regional roundtable meetings in the fall and committee and council meetings at the convention, with final approval coming from the general membership. "Many KLA members were involved in creating policy for 2020," said KLA President Harry Moser, a rancher from Wheaton. "This broad participation makes for strong policy that will help KLA effectively represent the business interests of its members." KLA members believe consumers should be equipped to make

informed decisions when purchasing meat food products versus imitation meat products. Therefore, existing policy was amended to oppose allowing fake meat and dairy products, and lab-grown meat to inappropriately use nomenclature associated with actual meat and dairy products. In addition, the policy supports legislative, regulatory or judicial action to protect consumers by ensuring fake meat and dairy products, and lab-grown meat are labeled accurately. Members approved a new resolution regarding stockwater facility permits. Policy supports a permit that would allow an individual water right(s) to exceed the annual authorized quantity of the individual water right(s), as long as the facility's total authorized quantity was not exceeded and did not impair a senior water right from the same local source of supply. The membership recognized the important role the chief engineer, chosen by the Kansas Secretary of Agri-

State Line Shopper

culture, plays within the livestock industry. Consequently, a new resolution was approved to support the secretary, in conjunction with the Kansas Legislature, adjusting the compensation of the chief engineer to be competitive with surrounding states. The policy also supports changes to state law necessary to allow the Kansas Secretary of Agriculture to appoint any capable and qualified person to be chief engineer, regardless of professional degree or certification. Existing policy focused on the lesser prairie chicken was amended by the membership. While KLA continues to support voluntary, incentive-based efforts like the Lesser Prairie Chicken Range-Wide Conservation Plan as means to preserve and enhance the population of the birds in Kansas, KLA members took the step of disapproving of the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies' (WAFWA) management of

PAGE 5

the Range-Wide Plan. KLA Sudoku Puzzle Answers policy calls for WAFWA to resign as the plan's administrator or make public a recent audit that identified specific areas of mismanagement and work with stakeholders to correct shortcomings identified in the audit. KLA members continue to oppose listing the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened or endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. Members voted in favor of an amendment to policy addressing water conservation programs. The policy supports state law authorizing Local Enhanced Management Areas (LEMA), as long as any proposed LEMA has the support of local affected water right holders. Policy on zoning of agricultural land and buildings also was reaffirmed by the membership. It supports current state laws that prohibit local governments from enacting any regulations that apply to agricultural land use or the Exclusion/Removal/Control of construction and mainBATS/RODENTS/MOLES/VOLES/ tenance of buildings used INSECTS & BEDBUGS for agricultural purposes outside of city limits and Cell 402-739-3180 oppose any attempt to tdavis1665@yahoo.com weaken those exemptions.

I’m also pleased with the continued commitment to customer service and expanded public information.” “I’m thankful for David Barfield’s exemplary service to Kansans,” said Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Mike Beam. “He’s fulfilled this important role with dedication, integrity and transparency while always being open to input from stakeholders. He leaves the Division of Water Resources with a firm foundation for the future of Kansas water.

American Royal Acquires Land for “Epicenter of Agriculture” The American Royal Association is one step closer to its goal of being the “Epicenter of Agriculture.” The organization recently acquired 115 acres in Kansas City, Kansas, following a purchase of 47 acres earlier this year.
